Something that is frequently on my mind is Chloe's nutrition. One very real possibility is getting a g-tube in the future to ensure she gets the proper intake that she needs to thrive and succeed. I've been thinking about that possibility and how it will affect.... her fashion, of course! I came across these items, though, that bring peace to my mind. If we do need to get a g-tube, Chloe can still be fashionable!
Tummy TunnelsThese are iron-on patches that go over shirts or onesies....
Bundie Medical OnesiesThe front panel is equipped with two special pockets. A smaller front pocket on the left stores gastrostomy tubing. It is designed to hold a standard nursing pad as well to absorb leaks....

Seriously love those. My little guy has a g-j tube that is long and in the way and can easily be tugged. He is growing out of most onezies and we were trying to think of something that would help.
I love this idea!
Those are adorable! What a smart idea.
I looked into getting these when Graham was a baby... they were too pricey for us but oh so cute!!!
We just cut holes in all of his clothes to send the g-tube tubing through.
Jenkins... to reduce tugging, we put a piece of tape on the g-tube, and attached a safety pin to that, and pinned the tube to his diaper under his clothes. So if the tube ever got tugged.. and it did, all the time, it tugged on his diaper, not his belly. worked awesome.
